A Highest Rank in Another World!

I couldn\'t say anything to try to change her mind. If I tried to argue with her right now, she would be a lot angrier, which would only worsen the whole situation. Lisandra already looked pretty bad.

Lisandra was beside me with her head down, she seemed to be crying for some reason.

"Prepare everything, I\'ll pick you up tomorrow morning, do you hear? I\'m staying next room anyway." Saying this, our mother left the room and left just the two of us inside.

Seeing this, I just sighed in relief.

"Lisandra, are you okay?"

"..."

At my question, Lisandra remained silent with her head bowed. This is all my fault, damn it. But what a silly drama it all turned out to be, isn\'t it? Looks like I\'m reading some stupid fantasy book.

Where anything becomes a meaningless drama to extend the story.

But now nothing could be done. If I tried to talk to my mom, she\'d just get even angrier at me, and I\'m afraid she\'ll end up setting the inn on fire because of that.

I didn\'t know how to apologize to Sara if it happens.

I got up and then I grabbed the bags that I had brought last time and started putting away my things. Lisandra on the other hand continued to stand in the same place without saying anything.

I kept putting away my things as I just continued to watch her until she finally lifted her face. I could see her eyes were tearing, she was crying.

"Are you going to accept this?" She said as she wiped the tears away with her hand. Seeing her crying like that makes me a little sad.

"There\'s nothing I can do, and you know it," I answered honestly.

"Try to talk to her, try to convince her to just drop you off at school so you can continue living here."

"I don\'t want to continue studying. And she wouldn\'t accept that either. When you do something to betray her trust, she will never believe you again. You know that, don\'t you?"

Our mom was like that. If she trusted me not to become an adventurer and I did, now if I promise again that I wouldn\'t, she wouldn\'t believe me. That\'s how she acted.

"Please try to get her to change her mind somehow!"

"But Lisandra, did you call our mom and think that wouldn\'t happen?" I honestly asked her. It can\'t be that it didn\'t cross her mind that our mother would act like that.

"Of course I thought about it, but I was also hoping that I could change her mind."

"But you didn\'t even try, you\'re too scared to do this."

"..."

"It\'s okay, now that you\'ve got some friends here and Sara treats you like a daughter, it won\'t be a problem for you to stay here alone. You\'re already an adult too, you know?" It might not look like it, but she was an adult.

"..."

"Now don\'t worry because it won\'t be long before I get back to the capital. And also you can come back to the village to visit from time to time during the holidays, right?" We wouldn\'t stay away forever.

We could see each other almost frequently as there are some long holidays in the middle and at the end of the year. Of course, I can also visit her when I have the opportunity.

"You\'re not going to try to change our mother\'s mind, are you?"

"Not. I know I was wrong and I can only accept it. To tell you the truth, I\'m not that sad about her decision." When I said that, Lisandra looked quite surprised, but I could understand.

Since I won\'t have any more contacts with my supposed "friends" and won\'t be able to work as an adventurer either, she thought I would feel very bad. But that\'s not the case, I don\'t care too much about it.

With friends, I don\'t care as I have many acquaintances in the village. And around our village is that huge forest where I can hunt monsters, so it won\'t change that much.

"Okay, I\'ll try to talk to her, I\'ll make sure to change her mind." Lisandra who looked dejected before suddenly seemed quite motivated to do this.

"You don\'t need to do this. But now stopping to think, why don\'t you want me to leave?" I know we are brothers and that we are very close, but all this concern doesn\'t make sense.

"I don\'t even know, I just know that I don\'t want you to leave, I\'ll feel very lonely if something like this happens."

"Even though you have friends to visit you almost every day?"

"Yes, I just want you to be here with me in the capital. I\'ll be calmer if you stay here." She looked really serious saying that. I didn\'t think she felt that way, but this is weird.

"If you feel that way, why did you call our mother?"

"I was just worried about you and wanted you to quit your job as an adventurer."

"And that\'s why you called our mother even at the risk of her taking me away?"

"That\'s right."

"Hahahaha, man you are unbelievable. Well, if you can convince her I\'ll stop working as an adventurer to stay here, but I find it hard for you to do that."

"Let\'s see if it\'s that hard."

"Good luck." After that Lisandra left the room and went straight to the room next door where our mother was. I didn\'t mind that and just continued to put away my things, knowing it wouldn\'t do any good.

When my mom makes a decision, it\'s impossible to change her mind.

Next morning.

After I finished packing my things, I was feeling tired and I lay down, I had even forgotten to take off my school uniform and I had also forgotten to shower.

When I got up I was stinking sweat and my clothes were completely dirty.

"Lisandra, why didn\'t you wake me up last night?" When I noticed this, I went into the bathroom because I thought Lisandra would be there, but she was gone. Didn\'t she come back last night?

I started to get confused, but then I heard a knock on the door.

"You may come in," I said as I removed the top of my uniform.

"You took a long time to wake up today, so I came to check it out. Lisandra and her mom told me you weren\'t going to school today." It was Sara who entered the bedroom.

"Oh, so they said that? Where are my mom and Lisandra now?"

"Lisandra went to school and her mother is downstairs, she asked me to come here and wake you up."

"So my mom is still here?" Of course she would be, what am I saying?

"Yes, she told you to get ready and go downstairs. She also said that you don\'t need to take your stuff yet." Sara looked to the corner of the room where I had put my things in the bags.

"Okay thank you." I thanked Sara and smiled at her, but she didn\'t look too happy.

"Are you going to go away? You stayed for such a short time."

"That\'s the price I pay for disobeying my mother."

"I understand. Before Lisandra left she continued to try to convince her mother not to take you, but her mother didn\'t want to change her mind."

"I imagined that would happen."

"..." Sara remained silent and then left the room to let me take my shower. Then I took my shower and changed into a casual outfit as I didn\'t need to go to school today.

Since I\'m not there today, I\'d like to know how my colleagues are doing. Are they missing me? No, it\'s only been a day since I saw them. To be more exact less than a day.

But to be honest I do feel a little sad. I won\'t be able to stay here to monitor that place under the capital that could end up hurting Lisandra and my friends.

Nor will I be able to continue my investigation of Isabell anymore. Dude, all of this will be left behind, this is...

Yesterday I wasn\'t feeling too bad, but today I\'m feeling down about it, I would like to stay in this city.

"But now whatever." After thinking hard, I went downstairs and there I found my mother sitting at one of the tables. I went there and sat down beside her.

I asked Sara to bring me breakfast and remained silent.

"Is ready?" my mom asked as she propped her elbows on the table and cupped her hand in front of her mouth. She was looking at me intently.

"To go away?"

"This too. But I was wondering if you\'re ready to leave school, didn\'t you make friends there?"

"I made some, but it hasn\'t been that long since we met, I think it\'s okay." I say that, but I was enjoying being with them.

"I see, this is good."

"Hm?"

"Don\'t get too attached to friends, it\'s good to do that.." I didn\'t understand the reason for these words, but my mother was quite serious.
